I don't see why it matters, not that I really care either way. It's the difference between playing 12/13, then 4 vs. 11/14, then 3. The 11-14 teams all seem pretty similar, as does Tennessee/Alabama.
It matters because the SEC is going to dominate the 1,2,3 seed lines for the Big Tourney
If we are a clear #5in the SEC we should land on the 3 if we are 6 th we might be on the 3 line
The 7 th & 8th place teams will be 4 or lower
NCAA tournament seeding is not tied to conference standings. We are not battling with Mizzou for a better NCAA tourney seed, that hay is already in the barn
I did not say standings I said clear #5 in the conference
Standings are a good place to start the evaluation but schedules are unbalanced and HTH is not great because most matchups are played only once bringing the home court variable in
Standings resume predictive metrics is how the committee will rank the SEC teams
SEC 1- 4 are all going to be on the 1 or 2 line SEC 5 will get the 3 line if we beat LSU and win 2 games at the tourney than it is the Ags otherwise it could be UK
Regarding Mizzou if the Ags lose their next 2 and Mizzou wins 3 in a row they are likely right back in the discussion of who is the 5th best team in the conference
